8-Bit Mafia/Werewolf (2014)

Overview

8-Bit Mafia/Werewolf contains two games in one box — Mafia and Werewolf — both of which feature similar gameplay.

In both games, the narrator runs the flow of the game and does not participate as a member of either party. The narrator’s job is the most important. The feeling of the game entirely depends on their ability to keep the game interesting. It is the narrator’s job to tell the story of what happened the previous night. A narrator should make it interesting, share a story that will invoke suspense, horror, humor, and lead to a great debate. While the debate ensues the narrator should keep to themselves unless they need to step in for clarification. A narrator should never do anything to sway a vote or influence any of the players.

Game play follows the traditional Mafia/Werewolf set up. The game is over if the number of Mafiosi/werewolves outnumber the civilians or if all members of the Mafia/werewolves are lynched.
